Shentel / Sprint LTE - (was ntelos - West & N&W Virginia)

[dethalis]

Does anyone have any advice for my phone, I have an iPhone 6 Plus and today in Roanoke it is showing Sprint LTE in the top left screen corner but data is not working at all. I have tried to restart, reset network settings and the ##update# but still no data.

Any help would be appreciated.

Do a ##clear#

 

Then a ##update#

Como boost service may not work yet

Just tried that but still no data , just get the spinning circle until it times out. Guess I will try sprintcare

[dethalis]

That is odd... Is it a sprint iphone?

It is, sprint iPhone 6 Plus. It's showing LTE on the screen but just won't connect to any page . Text and voice still work though.

I just tried the sprint app thing, maybe that will help?

A friend of mine has been connected on his 6 Plus all day long with no drop off, in Beckley. My phone won't stay connected unless I'm in the same spot and not too far indoors. Strange. Frustrating. But I'm very happy it's here somewhat

Longhorns make sure roaming is enabled... I have sprint iphone 6 plus and works fine for me in roanoke

Yeah I have roaming enabled, I've tried everything I can think of. I'm near Tanglewood mall so I would think my area would be good

I'm on a 6s plus in your area and I have LTE.

I was hoping that since Boost is definitely a Sprint company, I would be fortunate enough to get LTE...

You should but maybe not right now

Maybe there is just something wrong with my phone? Sprintcare online is too hard to deal with, I get a new person asking the same questions over and over. Might have to go by a store tomorrow

[dethalis]

Maybe but i doubt it could be like my wife's phone just took it a bit

LTE working with Sprint on Projectfi in Roanoke! I was unable to get a buddies boost phone to connect though.

^{so is the concensus yay or nay for lte in cville?}

While running errands today, there was LTE *almost* everywhere, but my phone would revert to EVDO all to easily. I even had to do another profile update going up Rt 29 to Target. It seemed better in the near western part of Albemarle. I suspect there's some serious optimization that still needs to happen, although I'd hoped that was already done for the nTelos users.

Ok nice to hear I have a iphone 6s.  Should be back in town tomorrow.  Did you have to do a prl update or did your phone just connect?

Well, I did 2 ##update#'s at home this AM, and another profile update on the road, but it seemed fairly spontaneous. Hard to factor out my anxiety/excitement after all the waiting!

Sounds like some of the problems of the LTE not hold could be from the Fall back switches. If that's the case then it would get resolved soon I'm sure.

Hope so! Most of the LTE I saw was 800, so I was a little surprised it wasn't holding up in buildings

Yes, this is all the same issues they have when they first turn it on everywhere. It will time time to adjust and fine tune things. Hopefully you will see the improvements you desire.
